I replaced the foam in my Humicare with the water beads. Even though I only used the Humicare for a couple of months last year when I first got the cabinet, there was some mold on it.

I got two 12oz jars of the water beads for $2.99/ea from Michaels craft store. I may go back for another jar as there's plenty of room left in the reservoir. Checking the cabinet this evening, it's at 65% and the fans only turn on once or so a minute. I'll be adding another lbs of HCM beads soon, so I should be all set now for the winter months.

So does the replacement of the foam with water beads cause the unit to work better in any way ? Do the beads hold the water and not give off humidity unless the fans are running ? I have a Hydra LG and I'm not particularly thrilled with the way it works . Sent the first one back and the second is definitely more accurate .
